Description

WO 03/053437 PCT/EP02/14594 Triazoles as oxytocin antagonists Field of the invention The present invention is directed to triazole derivatives, in particular for use as medicaments, as well as pharmaceutical formulations containing such triazole derivatives.
Said triazole derivatives are useful in the treatment and/or prevention ofpreterm labor, premature birth, dysmenorrhea, inappropriate secretion ofvasopressin, congestive heart failure, arterial hypertension, liver cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome and ocular hypertension.
Preferably, the triazole derivatives display a modulatory, notably an antagonist activity of the oxytocin and/or vasopressin receptor. More preferably, said compounds are useful in the treatment and/or prevention of disease states mediated by oxytocin and/or vasopressin, including preterm labor, premature birth, inappropriate secretion of vasopressin, congestive heart failure, arterial hypertension, liver cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome, hypertension and dysmenorrhea.
Background of the invention Arginine vasopressin (AVP) and oxytocin (OT) are cyclic nonapeptides whose actions are mediated by activation of specific G protein-coupled receptors currently classified into V 1 vascular (V 1 V2-renal (V 2 R) and V 3 -pituitary (V 3 R) AVP receptors, as well as OT receptors (OT-R) Oxytocin (OT) causes the contraction of the uterus of mammals during labor. The corresponding oxytocin receptor belongs to the family of G-protein-coupled receptors and is similar to Vi and V 2 vasopressin receptors. OT receptors increase dramatically during the course of pregnancy. The concentration of OT receptors has been shown to correlate with spontaneous uterine activity OT-induced contractions of the uterus during labor result in the dilatation of the cervix and eventually in the movement of the foetus through the vaginal canal. In some cases, these contractions occur before the foetus is fully viable, WO 03/053437 PCT/EP02/14594 -2resulting in premature labor. Premature labor and premature birth are undesired as they are major causes of perinatal morbidity. Hence, the management of preterm labor represents a significant problem in the field of obstetrics.
Vasopressin, also called "antidiuretic hormone", is a cyclic nonapeptide hormone that exhibits a series of physiological effects including free water re-absorption, vasoconstriction, cellular proliferation and adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) secretion. In a healthy organism, vasopressin plays an important role in the homeostasis of fluid osmolality and volume status. However, in several diseases or conditions such as the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of vasopressin, congestive heart failure, arterial hypertension, liver cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome, dysmenorrhea and ocular hypertension, vasopressin is assumed to play an important role In recent years, strong evidence has accumulated indicating that the hormone oxytocin plays a major role in initiating labor in mammals, in particular in humans. Thereby, it is assumed that oxytocin exerts said effect in a direct as well as an indirect way, by contracting the uterine myometrium and by enhancing the synthesis and release of contractile prostaglandins from the uterine endometrium/decidua. These prostaglandins may furthermore play a role in the cervical ripening process. This "up-regulation" of oxytocin receptors and increased uterine sensitivity seems to be due to trophic effects of rising plasma levels of estrogen towards term. By down-regulating oxytocin, it is expected that both the direct (contractile) and indirect (increased prostaglandin synthesis) effects of oxytocin on the uterus could be blocked. An oxytocin modulator, e.g. blocker or antagonist would likely be efficacious for treating preterm labor.
A further condition related to oxytocin is dysmenorrhea, which is characterised by pain or discomfort associated with menses. The pain is believed to result from uterine contractions and ischemia, probably mediated by the effect of prostaglandins produced in the secretory endometrium. By blocking both the indirect and direct effects of oxytocin on the uterus, an oxytocin antagonist would be a likely candidate for treating dysmenorrhea.
WO 03/053437 PCT/EP02/14594 -3- Some agents counteracting the action of oxytocin are currently used in clinical studies Such tocolytic agents uterine-relaxing agents) include beta-2-adrenergic agonists, magnesium sulfate and ethanol. The leading beta-2-adrenergic agonist is Ritodrine, which causes a number of cardiovascular and metabolic side effects, including tachycardia, increased renin secretion, hyperglycemia and reactive hypoglycemia in the infant. Further beta-2-adrenergic agonists, including terbutaline and albuterol have side effects similar to those ofritodrine. Magnesium sulfate at plasma concentrations above the therapeutic range of 4 to 8 mg/dL can cause inhibition of cardiac conduction and neuromuscular transmission, respiratory depression and cardiac arrest, thus making this agent unsuitable when renal function is impaired. Ethanol is as effective as ritodrine in preventing premature labor, but it does not produce a corresponding reduction in the incidence of fetal respiratory distress that administration ofritodrine does.
Atosiban, a peptide OT antagonist, suffers the problem of most peptides: low oral bioavailability resulting from intestinal degradation. Such compounds must be administered parenterally.
The development ofnon-peptide ligands for peptide hormone receptors is expected to overcome this problem. Small molecule selective oxytocin antagonists have been reported by Merck. In addition to cyclic hexapeptides, Merck suggested indanylpiperidines and tolyl-piperazines as orally deliverable OT antagonists In WO 96/22775 and US- 5,756,497, Merck reported benzoxazinylpiperidines or benzoxazinones as OT receptor antagonists.
Specific sulfonamides have been reported to antagonize ocytocin at the ocytocin receptor.
Elf Sanofi's EP-A-0469984 and EP-A-0526348 report N-sulfonyl indolines acting as antagonists of the vasopressin and the oxytocin receptors.
WO 03/053437 PCT/EP02/14594 -4- Summary of the invention It is an object of the present invention to provide substances which are suitable for the treatment of a variety of diseases, in particular preterm labor, premature birth, dysmenorrhea, inappropriate secretion ofvasopressin, congestive heart failure, arterial hypertension, liver cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome and ocular hypertension.
It is notably an object of the present invention to provide chemical compounds which are able to down-regulate, including to antagonize, the function of OT and/or Via in disease states in animals, preferably mammals, especially in humans.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide small molecule chemical compounds for the modulation, preferably the down-regulation or antagonization of the oxytocin receptor.
Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide methods for preparing said small molecule chemical compounds. It is furthermore an object of the present invention to provide a new category of pharmaceutical formulations for the treatment ofpreterm labor and dysmenorrhea, and/or diseases mediated by the oxytocin receptor.
It is finally an object of the present invention to provide a method for the treatment and/or prevention of disorders mediated by the oxytocin receptor, like preterm labor, inappropriate secretion of vasopressin, congestive heart failure, arterial hypertension, liver cirrhosis, nephrotic syndrome, dysmenorrhea and ocular hypertension with oxytocin and/or vasopressin antagonists, acting for example by antagonizing the binding of oxytocin and/or vasopressin to their receptor.

The resin was recovered on a sintered funnel and was washed sequentially with DMF (250 mL), water (250 mL), DMF (250 mL), WO 03/053437 PCT/EP02/14594 -29water (250 mL), acetone (250 mL), methanol (250 mL), acetone (250 mL) and methanol (250 mL). The resin was first dried by flusing air for 1 hour, then in vacuo at 60 0
C.
Step 2: Reaction of the resin with an acylor sulfonyl chloride (compound of formula
XXTII:
The resulting Amino-derivatised AMEBA II resin of formula XXV obtained from Step 1 (0.75 mmol/g of resin), was suspended in dichloromethane (10 mL/g of resin) in a round bottomed flask. An acid chloride or sulfonyl chloride of formula XXVI (3 eq), e.g. methyl 3-(chloroformyl)-propionate, was added, followed by N-ethyldiisopropylamine (3 eq). The reaction mixture was shaken at room temperature for 18 hours. The resin was filtered and washed sequentially with DCM, DMF, DCM and MeOH before being dried in vacuo.
Step 3: Hydrazine addition (compound of formula XXVIII): Ester derivatised AMEBA II resin of formula XXVII obtained from Step 2 mmol/g), was put into a round bottomed flask with a magnetic stirrer. To the flask was added N,Ndimethylformamide (5 mL/g of resin), hydrazine hydrate (5 mL/g of resin). A water condenser was fitted and the reaction was stirred slowly at 50 0 C for 18 hours. The reaction was allowed to cool to room temperature, filtered and the resin washed five times with water and the waste disposed of-accordingly. The resin was then washed sequentially with DMF, DCM and MeOH before being dried in vacuo.
Step 4: Isocvanate addition (compound of formula XX2): The resin linked to the resulting acid hydrazide of formula XXVIII and recovered from above Step 3 (1.5 g, -0.7 mmol/g), was weighed into boiling tubes. Standard solutions of the isothiocyanates of formula XXIX, e.g. 1-isothiocyanate-3-methoxy-benzene, were made up (0.42 M in anhydrous THF). These standard solutions (25 mL, 10.5mmol, 10eq) were then added to the boiling tubes, which were sealed with a pressure releasing septum. The tubes were shaken at room temperature for 66 hours. The resin of each tube was filtered WO 03/053437 PCT/EP02/14594 and washed with 2 x DMF and the waste disposed of accordingly. The resin was then washed sequentially with DCM and MeOH before being dried in vacuo.
Step 5: Cyclization (compound of formula XXXI): The resins resulting from the previous Step 4 and of formula XXX, were transferred to a clean boiling tube and a 3:2 mixture of 1,4-dioxane and 0.3M KOH (20 mL) was added.
The tubes were heated to 65 C and shaken for 18 hours. The reactions were allowed to cool to room temperature. The resin was washed with 3 x water, 2 x MeOH, 2 x DCM and 2 x MeOH before being dried in vacuo.
Step 6: Alkllation (compound of formula XXII) The resin-bound compound of formula XXXI obtained from Step 5, was transferred into a 96-well filter-plate (approximatively 50mg of dry resin/well) and each well treated with Iml of alkyl bromide (formula III) solution (0.21 mmol/ml of 1,4-dioxane), e.g. 1- Bromomethyl-3-chloro-benzene. N-ethyldiisoprpylamine (50 tl) was added to each well, the plate sealed and shaken at room temperature for 18 hours. The resin was filtered and washed with 2 x DMF and the waste disposed of accordingly. The resin was then washed sequentially with DMF, DCM, MeOH and finally DCM before being dried in vacuo.
Step 7: Cleavageform the resin (compound of formula la): A standard solution of 60% TFA/DCM was prepared. This solution (3 x 0.5ml) was dripped through each well of the filter plate containing the resin-bound compound of formula XXXII obtained from Step 6, collecting in a 2ml plate. The solvents were evaporated. This procedure was repeated once (3 x 0.5ml of 60% TFA/DCM solution) and the solvents were removed in vacuo. Dry THF (0.5 mL) and MeOH (0.5 mL) were finally dripped through and the solvent removed in vacuo. The final compound (formula Ia) obtained after purification by two successive flash chromatography processes (first column using 100% ethyl acetate progressing to 5% methanol/ethyl acetate as eluent; second WO 03/053437 WO 03/53437PCT/EP02/14594 -31column performed with a mixture 50% hexane/ethyl acetate progressing to 100% ethyl -acetate over 1 hour as eluent) is 3-[5-[(3-cllorobenzyl)sulfanyl]-4-(3-methoxyphenyl)-4H- 1 ,2,4-triazol-3-yl] -N-(2-methoxybenzyl)propanamide (111 NMR (400 MHz, CDCl 3 (in, 2H), 2.6 (mn, 2H), 3.6 3H), 3.7 311), 4.1-4.3 (mn, 4H), 5.3 (mn, 1H), 5.4 (in, 2H), 5.7 (in, 2H), 5.8 (mn, 111), 6.9-7.1 (in, 6H), 7.2 (in, 111).

c) Functional assay No. 1: Inhibition of oxytocin mediated Ca 2 +-mobilization by FLIPR® (Fluorimetric Imaging Plate Reader) The action of OT on the OT-receptor triggers a complex cascade of events in the cell which leads to an increase in the intra-cytoplasmic Ca 2 concentration. This increase in Ca 2 concentration results from both calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (calcium stores) into the cytoplasm and from calcium influx from the extracellular space through WO 03/053437 PCT/EP02/14594 -167- Ca 2 channels. This Ca 2 +mobilization into the cytoplasm triggers the contractile machinery of the myometrial cells which leads to uterine contractions (4 and 19).
This assay allows the measurement of the inhibition of OT/OT-R mediated calcium mobilization by test compounds of formula FLIPR is a fluorimetric imaging device using a laser (Argon-ion laser) for simultaneous illumination and reading (cooled CCD camera) of each well of a 96-well-plate, thus enabling rapid measurements on a large number of samples.
Preparing the plates: FLIPR-plates were pre-coated with PLL (Poly-L-Lysine) 10g/ml 0.1% gelatine to attach HEK293EBNA cells (Human Embryonic Kidney cells expressing the hOT receptor) and incubated for 30min up to 2 days at 37 The cells were plated out into 96-well-plates (60000 cells/well).
Labelling with fluo-4: 50[ig of fluo-4 (Ca2+ sensitive fluorescent dye) were dissolved in pluronic acid (20% in DMSO). The dissolved fluo-4 was then diluted in 10ml DMEM (Dubecco's Minimal Essential Medium)-F12 culture medium. The plates were washed one time with DMEM-F12 medium. 100l of the fluo-4 containing-DMEM-F12 medium were added to the HEK-cells which were incubated for 1.5-2h in this fluorescent medium. Fluo-4 is taken up by the cytoplasm of the cells.
Buffer: 145mM NaC1, 5mM KC1, 1mM MgC1 2 10mM Hepes, 10mM Glucose, EGTA (Ethylene-bis oxyethylene nitrilo tetraacetic acid). The pH was adjusted to 7.4.
Performance of the assay: A minimum of 80pl/well of compounds of formula (5x) in the above buffer (lx) were prepared (96-well-plates). The compounds of formula were added to the 96-well-plates at different concentrations (30 pM, 10 pM, 1 gM, 300 nM, 100 nM, 10 nM, 1 nM, 100 pM, 10 pM). OT was added at a concentration of 40 nM.
WO 03/053437 WO 03/53437PCT/EP02/14594 168- The relative fluorescence of Fluo-4 (Xex= 488i Xem= 590 n) is then measured by the FLIPR in presence or absence of compounds of formula -The fluorescence of the marker being sensitive to the amount of Ca 2 the Ca 2 oeet can be detected. Then, it can be determined the ability of compounds of formnula to antagonize the oxytocin-induced intracellular Ca2 -mobilization mediated by the oxytocin receptor.
The activities of the triazole derivatives according to formula I were assessed using the above described in vitro biological assay. Representative values for some example compounds are given in Table 4. The values refer to the concentration of the test compounds according to formula I necessary to antagonize by 50% the OT/OTR intracellular Ca 2 +-mobilization. From the values, it can be derived that said example compounds according to formula I do exhibit a significant activity as oxytocin receptor antagonists.

This increase in Ca2 concentration results from both calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (calcium stores) into the cytoplasm and from calcium influx from the extracellular space through Ca 2 channels. This Ca2+mobilization into the cytoplasm triggers the contractile machinery of the myometrial cells which leads to uterine contractions (4 and 19).
This assay can be used to measure the inhibition ofAVP Via-R mediated calcium mobilization by test compounds of formula FLIPR® is a fluorimetric imaging device using a laser (Argon-ion laser) for simultaneous illumination and reading (cooled CCD camera) of each well of a 96-well-plate, thus enabling rapid measurements on a large number of samples.
Preparing the plates: FLIPR-plates are pre-coated with PLL (Poly-L-Lysine) 10pgg/ml 0.1% gelatine to attach the CHO cells (expessing hVia) and incubated for 30min up to 2 days at 37 The cells are plated out into 96-well plates (60000 cells/well).
Labelling with fluo-4: 50pg fluo-4 (fluorescent marker) is dissolved in 201 pluronic acid in DMSO). The dissolved fluo-4 is then diluted in 10ml DMEM (Dubecco's Minimal Essential Medium-F12 medium. The medium is removed from the plates, followed by one wash with DMEM-F12 medium. 1001p of the DMEM-F12 medium containing fluo-4 are added and the cells incubated for 1-1.5h (CHO-cells).
Buffer: 145mM NaCI, 5mM KC1, 1mM MgC12, 10mM Hepes, 10mM Glucose, EGTA (Ethylene-bis oxyethylene nitrilo tetraacetic acid). Adjust to pH 7.4.
WO 03/053437 PCT/EP02/14594 -170- Performance of the assay: A minimum of 80l/well of antagonists (5x) in the above buffer (lx) is prepared (96-well plates). The antagonists can be added to the well-plates at different concentrations (30 AM, 10 pM, 1 pM, 300 nM, 100 nM, 10 nM, 1 nM, 100 pM, pM). AVP is added at a concentration of 40 nM.
The relative fluorescence of Fluo-4 (Xex= 488nm, em= 590 nm) can then be measured by the FLIPR in presence or absence of compounds of formula The fluorescence of the marker being sensitive to the amount of Ca 2 the Ca 2 movements can be detected.
In the same way as for the FLIPR assay with OT receptor expressing cells, the capacity of the triazole derivatives according to formula I, to effectively antagonize AVP-induced intracellular Ca+-mobilization mediated by the action of AVP at the Via-receptor, can be assessed using the above described in vitro biological assay.
e) Functional assay No. 2: Inhibition of P3 (Inositol Tri-Phosphate)-Synthesis in HEK/EBNA-OTR cells The interaction of OT on the OT-receptor leads to the IP3 synthesis, second messenger for Ca 2 release from sarcoplasmic reticulum, involved in the uterine contraction triggering process This assay can be used to show the inhibition of the OT OT-R mediated IP3 synthesis by using test compounds of formula Stimulation of the cells: HEK/EBNA OTR (rat or human) cells are plated out into costar 12-well plates, and equilibrated for 15-24h with 4 pCi/ml radiolabelled 3 Inositol with 1% FCS (0.5ml/well) and without inositol supplement. The medium containing the label is aspirated. DMEM medium (without FCS, inositol), 20mM Hepes (4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-lpiperazine-ethane-sulphonic acid), Img/ml BSA containing 10mM LiC1 (freshly prepared), are added and incubated for 10-15min at 370C. The agonist oxytocin used at a concentration of 10 nM) and the antagonists the tests compounds of formula can be WO 03/053437 PCT/EP02/14594 -171used in a concentration of 10 rM, 1pM, 300 nM, 100 nM, 10 nM, 1 nM, 100 pM, 10 pM, 3 pM) can be added at the required time (15-45min), followed by aspiration of the medium.
In the presence of OT, the radiolabelled inositol is converted to radiolabelled IP3.
Antagonizing OT at the OT-receptor inhibits the IP3 formation.
The amount of the radiolabelled IP3 may be determined through the ensuing work-up. The reaction is stopped with lml STOP-solution 0.4 M perchloric acid), and let sit for at Room Temperature. Then, 0.8ml are transferred into tubes containing 0.4ml of neutralizing solution (0.72 M KOH/0.6M KHC0 3 and the tubes vortexed and kept in the cold at least for 2h.
Separation of IP's: The samples are spun in a table top centrifuge at 3000-4000 rpm for lml of the supernatant is transferred to new tubes containing 2.5ml H 2 0. Packed resin (Dowex AG1X8) is equilibrated with 20ml H20, and the whole samples are poured onto the chromatography columns, thus separating the mixture. To remove free inositol, two washes with 10ml H20 are carried out.
Elution of total IP's: Elution is achieved using 3ml 1M ammonium formate/0.1M formic acid. The eluant is collected in scintillation counting tubes, after the addition of 7ml of scintillation liquid. The amount of 3 H]-IP3 is determined by a scintillating counter.
The ability of compounds of formula(I) to effectively antagonize oxytocin-induced IP3synthesis mediated by the oxytocin receptor, can be assessed using the above described in vitro biological assay.
J) In vivo model for inhibtion of uterine contractions The assay evaluates the biological effect of tested compounds in an in vivo model of preterm labor, premature birth.
WO 03/053437 PCT/EP02/14594 172- Non-pregnant Charles River CD (SD) BR female rats (9-10 weeks old, 200-250g) were treated at 18 and 24 hours before the experiment with 250 [ig/kg, i.p. diethylstilbestrol (DES). For the assay, the animal was anaesthetised with urethane (1.75 g/kg, and placed on a homeothermic operating table. The trachea was isolated and cannulated with a suitable polyethylene (PE) tubing. A midline incision at the hypogastrium level was made and one uterine horn exposed, its cephalic end cannulated with a PE240 tubing and, after filling the internal cavity with 0.2 ml of sterile physiological saline, connected to a "Gemini" amplifying/recording system via a P23ID Gould Statham pressure transducer.
One jugular vein was isolated, cannulated with a PE60 tubing and connected to a butterfly needle to provide an i.v. route of administration of the test compounds via a dispensing syringe.
in the case of intraduodenal administration of the test compounds, the duodenum can be isolated and similarly cannulated through a small incision in its wall.
One carotid artery was also isolated and cannulated with PE60 catheter and connected to a suitable syringe for blood sample collection.
After a stabilization period and throughout the experiment, the same dose of oxytocin was repeatedly injected intravenously at 30-min intervals. When reproducible contractile responses of the uterus to the same OT stimulus (selected dose of oxytocin) were obtained, the dose of the test or of the reference (vehicle) was administered. Further injection cycles of the same dose of oxytocin, were continued (OT injections at 30-min intervals) for a suitable time after treatment to assess the inhibitory effects and the reversibility of these effects.
The contractile response of the uterus to oxytocin was quantified by measuring the intrauterine pressure and the number of contractions. The effect of the reference and test compounds was evaluated by comparing pre- and post-treatment pressure values. In addition, at 2, 30, 90 and 210 minutes after test compound administration, a 0.5-ml blood 173sample was withdrawn from the cannulated carotid artery of each experimental animal.
Plasma was obtained by standard laboratory procedure and the resulting samples were stored at -20 0
C.
The activities of the triazole derivatives claimed in the Formula I can be assessed using s the above described in vivo biological assay. Representative values for one example compound are given in Table 5.
